It’s possible, yes:

Within your SSO endpoint, you have the capability to map the claim to the payload, e.g.:

```plaintext
const ssoPayload = {
  nonce: nonce,
  email: user.email,
  external_id: user.sub,
  username: user.nickname,
  name: user.name,
  add_groups: a_custom_group,
  'custom.user_field_1': user['https://yourdomain.com/company_id'],
  'custom.user_field_2': [etc...]

```
